Dear Practo User.
Thanks for sending across your query.
VSL3 can be taken before or after food, but taking it after meals may enhance probiotic survival. For best results, take it daily as advised. If symptoms persist, book a follow-up to reassess your gut health.
Next Steps
For further details you can consult with me in Dr. Monga medi clinic or consult me directly by taking a consultation on Practo.

It should preferably be taken before food and give a gap of at least one hour before you take any food. Take it at the same time each day.
